I AM A VERBAL PAINTER

Painting pictures with my words

I am a verbal painter.
Paint pictures with my words.
They can be the prettiest pictures ,
That you have ever heard.

My pallet is the keyboard,
My brush are the keys.
What you read in your mind
Is the picture that you see.

I can paint happy,
I can paint blue.
How you read the painting,
Is entirety up to you.

I have painted Rembrandt''s
Picasso’s and Renior's

Even painted one or two

That have left some scars.

I have painted pictures
Of ladies in distress.
One I painted too much
Left me really in a mess.

I have painted sadness,
Loves that have been lost.
Even wrote one painting
And love it did ME cost .

For once words are written
The picture has been formed .
You can 't change the color.
That I wish I was forewarned.

But I will keep on painting
With words that I do find.
And hope they paint a picture
Be it only in your mind.

A verbal painter is the best artist in the world.

Ditto.

Really loved this, very lyrical and fun. Really sums up what a good poet should be I think. To be honest im not into poetry at all, only joined this today out of boredum but this kind of work is changing my point of view. Good stuff.

You can really paint with words. How did you get so goooood. Did you keep the poem about " I write of many things" something like that? It's one of my favorites.
